Auto Routing of PCB 5.1.5 version have a question

Layout

I am using Kicad 5.1.5 version.It has no Auto Router button.Why is that?

It was removed in version 5. You have to run an external autorouter. Search for a recent thread where I posted a link to the latest freeRouting jar.

Somebodywill certainly point out the new interactive shove feature of track drawing in version 5.

BTW, since you seem to be starting off, a reminder that autorouting != autoplacement. You have to seek the best placement and orientation, autorouting or not.

And you will quickly find out why placement is actually much harder than routing and actually takes much longer to get right
